2. Safety Instructions
Your safety and the safety of others are paramount. Always follow these safety precautions when operating the generator.
- Carbon Monoxide Hazard: Generators produce carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas. Operate the generator outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far away from windows, doors, and vents. Never operate it inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace, or other enclosed area.
- Fire Hazard: Gasoline is highly flammable. Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine off and cool. Do not smoke or allow open flames near the generator or fuel tank. Store fuel in an approved container in a safe location.
- Electrical Shock Hazard: Never operate the generator in wet conditions. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and dry. Do not touch the generator or connected devices with wet hands. Use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) when operating in damp or wet locations.
- Hot Surfaces: The generator's engine and muffler become very hot during operation and remain hot for some time after shutdown. Avoid touching hot surfaces to prevent burns.
- Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the generator, especially during operation.
- Proper Grounding: Always ensure the generator is properly grounded before use to prevent electrical shock.
- Overload Protection: Do not overload the generator. Exceeding its rated capacity can damage the generator and connected appliances.

4.2 Adding Engine Oil
The generator is shipped without engine oil. You must add the recommended oil before the first start.
- Place the generator on a level surface.
- Locate and remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
- Using the provided funnel, slowly add the recommended 10W-30 engine oil until it reaches the upper mark on the dipstick. Do not overfill.
- Securely replace the oil fill cap/dipstick.
4.3 Adding Fuel
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher.
- Ensure the generator is off and cool.
- Open the fuel tank cap.
- Slowly pour gasoline into the fuel tank, being careful not to overfill. Leave some space for fuel expansion.
- Securely close the fuel tank cap.
4.4 Battery Connection (for Electric Start)
The generator includes a VRLA lead-acid battery for electric starting. Connect it as follows:
- Locate the battery compartment.
- Connect the positive (+) battery cable (red) to the positive (+) terminal on the battery.
- Connect the negative (-) battery cable (black) to the negative (-) terminal on the battery.
- Ensure connections are tight and secure.
4.5 Grounding the Generator
Proper grounding is essential for safety.
- Connect a grounding wire (not included) from the generator's grounding terminal to a suitable ground source, such as a ground rod driven into the earth.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to safely start and operate your AIVOLT Inverter Generator.
5.1 Starting the Generator
Ensure the generator is on a level surface and in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
Electric Start:
- Ensure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
- Turn the fuel valve to the 'ON' position.
- Turn the engine switch to the 'ON' position.
- If the engine is cold, apply the choke.
- Press and hold the electric start button until the engine starts.
- Once the engine starts, slowly release the choke (if applied).
Manual (Recoil) Start:
- Ensure all appliances are disconnected from the generator.
- Turn the fuel valve to the 'ON' position.
- Turn the engine switch to the 'ON' position.
- If the engine is cold, apply the choke.
- Grasp the recoil starter handle firmly and pull it slowly until you feel resistance, then pull quickly and smoothly.
- Repeat until the engine starts.
- Once the engine starts, slowly release the choke (if applied).
5.2 Connecting Electrical Devices
After the generator is running stably, you can connect your electrical devices.
- Ensure the generator is running at its normal operating speed.
- Plug your devices into the appropriate AC (230V 16A/32A), DC (12V), or USB Type-A outlets.
- Monitor the 5-in-1 LED display for overload indicators. If an overload occurs, disconnect some devices.
5.3 Eco-Mode Operation
The Eco-Mode switch allows the engine speed to automatically adjust to the load, improving fuel efficiency and reducing noise.
